Choo Choo Craft Show

Tomorrow, Dec 13, is the last day of Choo Choo Christmas. It is a market that only has handmade items. It is a great place to come for christmas shopping, for that person who has everything or yourself.

* There is a face painting booth. They are really talented, the style reminds me of the musical "Cats".
* A guy that does hammered recycled aluminum, I bought a really pretty plate from him. Plates, platters, wrist cuffs, and ornaments
* Stained glass awesomeness! ornaments, wall hangings, pendants, necklaces, plant pokes, & fan pulls
* Wood that has been cut out with a scroll saw... very pretty designs. She also has wood puzzles. She can do a custom picture for you.
* A guy that has some really cool celestial art done with spray paint
* wood puzzles
* Wood Nativitys and other carved wood ornaments... really cool/durable 3D nativity
* Hand made brooms
* Pottery... really cool rough style that is painted in wild colors and designs... functional = food & dishwasher safe

December 13, from 10am - 6pm

My mom and I will be there, selling our handmade fashion accessories.

Please come and support local crafters/artists/small business/handmade items
Most of the venders really need the money (including us). We have been there since Friday and no one has really made very many sales. It costs us gas money to get there and back, a booth fee, and our time... so we start out with less than nothing and then need to make that money back before we can actually make a profit. We all need more people to show up.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
